So that`s what they call a family?
Mother, daughter, father, son
Guess that everything you heard about was true
So you ain`t got any family?
Well, who said you needed one?
Ain`t ya glad nobody`s waitin` up for you?
When I dream
On my own
I`m alone but I ain`t lonely
For a dreamer, night`s the only time of day
When the city`s finally sleepin`
All my thoughts begin to stray
And I`m on the train that`s bound for Santa Fe
And I`m free
Like the wind
Like I`m gonna live forever
It`s a feeling time can never take away
All I need`s a few more dollars
And I`m outta here to stay
Dreams come true
Yes, they do
In Santa Fe
Where does it say you gotta live and die here?
Where does it say a guy can`t catch a break?
Why should you only take what you`re given?
Why should you spend your whole life livin`
Trapped where there ain`t no future
Even at seventeen
Breakin` your back for someone else`s sake
If the life don`t seem to suit ya
How `bout a change of scene
Far from the lousy headlines
And the deadlines in between
Santa Fe
Are you there?
Do you swear you won`t forget me?
If I found you would you let me come and stay?
I ain`t gettin` any younger
And before my dyin` day
I want space
Not just air
Let `em laugh in my face
I don`t care
Save a place
I`ll be there
So that`s what they call a family
Ain`t ya glad you ain`t that way?
Ain`t ya glad you gotta dream called Santa Fe
